Bring out your calendar. It’s time to plan which birding festivals you’ll be attending this year. There are four major ones. Feel free to attend more than one. Over the weekend of May 16-18, Deer Isle and Stonington host their annual Wings, Waves & Woods Festival. The Downeast Spring Birding Festival is scheduled over Memorial Day weekend; this year it will be held May 23-26. The Acadia Birding Festival is the biggest and longest-running Maine festival. It’s scheduled for May 29 - June 1. Save June 5-8 for the Rangeley Birding Festival. ~ Bob Duchesne
